Confession A man goes to confession. “Forgive me father, for I have sinned.” “What is your sin, my child?” The priest asks back. “Well,” the man starts, “I used some foul and abusive language this week and feel absolutely terrible.” “When did you do use this disgusting language?” asked the priest. “I was golfing and hit an incredible drive that looked like it was going to go over 300 yards, but it struck an overhead cable that was hanging over the fairway and fell straight down to the ground after going only about 150 yards.” “Is that when you swore?” “No, Father,” said the man. “After that, a rabbit ran out of the bushes and grabbed my ball in his mouth and began to run away.” Is that when you swore?” asked the Father again. “Well, no,” said the man, “You see, as the rabbit was running, an eagle came down out of the sky, grabbed the rabbit in his talons and began to fly away!” “Is THAT when you swore?” asked the amazed Priest. “No, not yet,” the man replied. “As the eagle carried the rabbit away in his claws, it flew towards the green. And as it passed over a bit of forest near the green, the rabbit dropped my ball.” “Did you swear THEN?” asked the now impatient Priest.  “No, because as the ball fell it struck a rock, bounced through some bushes, careened off a tree, and rolled through a bunker onto the green and stopped within one foot of the hole.” “You missed the f**king putt, didn’t you?” sighed the Priest.
